[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sotomayor and Obama were affirmative action babies. They benefitted from being in the right generation who first benefitted from schools wanting to help the less privileged. It grates me that Mrs. Obama gripes about her Ivy education at Princeton and Harvard Law. She would have never gotten into either school if she were white. She didn't have the grades for Princeton. She got to "check the box".[/quote]

Here's are some facts about Mrs. Obama:

By sixth grade, Michelle joined a gifted class at Bryn Mawr Elementary School (later renamed Bouchet Academy).

She attended Whitney Young High School,Chicago's first magnet high school. The round trip commute from the Robinsons' South Side home to the Near West Side, where the school was located, took three hours. She was on the honor roll for four years, took advanced placement classes, a member of the National Honor Society and served as student council treasurer. Michelle graduated in 1981 as the salutatorian of her class.[/quote]
